• In addition, students complete a Senior Capstone, a required course for all non-Elementary Education students obtaining a Bachelor of Arts from Holy Cross College. It is designed for students to gain additional insights into how their academic and student experiences have formed their identity as a scholar, citizen, leader, and disciple and can be applied in their personal and professional life after graduation.
